About this map

Industrial and residential development follows the course of the Naugatuck River in this mid-century survey of New Haven County. The concentrated urban core of Naugatuck is flanked by steep terrain, including Hunters Mountain and Tobys Rock Mountain, much of which is preserved within the Naugatuck State Forest. Transportation is anchored by the New Haven RR and major thoroughfares like Hartford Ave and Rubber Ave, reflecting the town's manufacturing heritage.

Beyond the river valley, the landscape transitions into the hills of Bethany, Oxford, and Seymour. Local history is preserved in numerous family and parish sites, from the Salem Cem and Grove Cemetery to the outlying St Augustine Cem. Smaller settlements such as Union City, Straitsville, and Millville maintain distinct identities, while numerous reservoirs like Mulberry Res and the Seymour Res No 4 illustrate the region's managed water resources.
